O
my God teach my heart where and how to seek you,
where
and how to find you…
You
are my God and you are my All
and
I have never seen you.
You
have made me and remade me,
You
have bestowed on me all the good things I possess,
Still
I do not know you…
I
have not yet done that for which I was made….
Teach
me to seek you…
I
cannot seek you unless you teach me
or
find you unless you show yourself to me.
Let
me seek you in my desire,
let
me desire you in my seeking.
Let
me find you by loving you,
let
me love you when I find you.
~
written by Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)
